Heb jij de verlichtende fietspaden van Polen al gezien?

Poland—home to some of the most bike-friendly
cities in the world—unveiled a gorgeous, glowing bike path near
Lidzbark Warminski in the Mazury region last week to help nighttime
cyclists get from A to B.

The 100-meter track, created by construction company TPA Instytut Badan Technicznych in Pruszkow, is still in test phase. Next Nature Network
reported that the bike path illuminates at night thanks to blue
luminophores, a synthetic material that emits light after being charged
by the sun. The color blue was chosen for the path because the engineers
thought it would best suit the scenic Mazury landscape. TPA president Ruttmar told Polish publication Gazeta Wyborcza
that the material used for their track can emit light for more than 10
hours, meaning it can radiate throughout the whole night and re-charge
the next day as it absorbs the sun's rays.

The engineers drew inspiration from a similar solar-powered bike path in the Netherlands known as the "Starry Night" bike lane that was unveiled by Studio Roosegaarde about two years ago.The
two paths, however, are different in a notable way. While the Dutch
path lights up via solar-powered LEDs, the Polish path requires no
additional power supply, Waldemar Królikowski, director of the Board of
Regional Roads in Olsztyn, said .

According to Inhabitat,
TPA designed the path with sustainability in mind. The company is also
researching ways to optimize production costs since this illuminated
bike path indeed costs more than conventional ones. Check out the bike lane in the video (in Polish) below.
